The JLA Skills Cards are being used by professional career coaches in many countries of the world, but they are designed in a way that they can also be used alone by career changers.

Designed for the more experienced job changer, they help you identify your motivated skills – the skills you use with maximum competency and satisfaction. This information is useful whether you are changing careers or simply reviewing your strengths.

The card sort exercise takes about 30 minutes, and gives you a wealth of useful information about your learning objectives, your top skills, and ways you can communicate them effectively to decision makers.

The card set comes with an explanatory booklet with instructions both for career changers and also coaches and consultants.

John Lees writes: Why have I designed a card sort when there are already resources available to help you list your skills? Firstly, because many skill analysis tools are computer-based, and the human brain responds and prioritises much better when you have to physically move cards around. Secondly, I tried to find a card sort that really tells you your motivated skills, and covers up-to-date interpersonal and high-tech skills. I couldn’t find what I needed, so I designed my own!

The JLA Skills Cards are only available from John Lees Associates.
